Finally finished. I spent quite some time on this. I was going to multi-shading, but chose not to due to lack of time. I really enjoyed this piece of art. :3 I put some real life into it and shaded extremely well compared to what I was doing a year ago when I started coloring. Ed went by fast, spent more time on Alphonse, actually. Not entirely sure as to why that happened, but I guess he's more complex because he's all one suit of armor with attachments on him, unlike Ed.

Considering Ed: His hair isn't quite as golden as it should be, but I didn't want to fight at the time, as it was the first thing I colored. I moved to his skin next, which was fairly easy (Although I had to go back to the do the part right above his automail leg). Then I did his coat, which isn't a bright red, it's actually darker than that, but not like a burgundy red. Then I did his undershirt, which isn't black, but it isn't gray. I made it lighter than his pants so you could see that his shirt isn't quite as dark as his pants. The pants are almost black, but not quiet, good enough to see lines still. His shoes were smooth, as were it's design. His automail arm wasn't too complex to shade at all. However, his leg was more of a challenge, or should I say a foot. I almost entirely messed up with shading. It came out smoothly, and I used a sort of light source for him, if you can tell.

Considering Alphonse: His armor is normally a blueish-gray color. I chose the grayish-silver for the fact that it makes it seem more..realistic to me. The most complex part for him was doing the shading, because of his additional parts, such as spikes, and straps. I managed though.

Overall, it's a great result in the end, and I would like to know what you think of it, or if you think there is anything that could do fixing.
